What's clicked for me is:

https://selfcontrolapp.com/

It's an open source project either:

https://github.com/SelfControlApp/selfcontrol/

What I do is, essentially, the following: every day at around 0-1 am (before I go to sleep) I set a timer so that it would fire at 7-8 pm (that's when I would get home). This allows me to force myself from browsing unnecessary sites (facebook, twitter, HN, reddit etc.) that would otherwise distract me from doing meaningful work.

As for the other devices, not long ago I would have twitter, facebook, VK, and a few others social media apps on my iPhone. I deleted everything except twitter which I check rarely (<= 10m a day). Deleting the facebook app contributed greatly to my smartphone's battery life either.



Is it really bad if you aren't doing meaningful work at 8 pm after you get home from work?
